Abstract

With high levels of CO₂ emissions and resource depletion more attention has been paid to environmental aspects of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) production, especially in view of the need for better sustainable construction materials. The good news to the usage of waste product in GPC as an eco-friendly construction material through the use of fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag and Meta kaolin. These differences could be attributing to the lack of aluminosilicate rich substances which are required for GPC to occur using regular cement as well as better environmental advantages.
